Reviews"This text is the gold standard, using the foundation of the Scott Gilbert text. Barresi works hard to keep the topics current, and provides many online, resources to supplement the text that the students very much appreciate and even enjoy."-Crystal Ivie, Boise Statte University, "This text is the gold standard, using the foundation of the Scott Gilbert text. Barresi works hard to keep the topics current, and provides many online, resources to supplement the text that the students very much appreciate and even enjoy."--Crystal Ivie, Boise State University"This is a textbook for an upper-division biology class of bright students who want to learn concepts and also be exposed to the experiments in the field. It is also bold in covering developmental biology from the molecular to the ecological, from the seconds to the evolutionary timescale, etc."--Donna Nofziger, Pepperdine University"This is a modern discussion of human development that includes many highly relevant examples that will be interest to undergraduates (or graduate students) with career aspirations in the health sciences."--Paula Marie Checchi, Marist College, "This text is the gold standard, using the foundation of the Scott Gilbert text.
